Infocom's Sorcerer package

by: Infocom

Publication date: 1984
Topics: Infocom, Infidel, text, adventure, Apple, 8-bit, Infotator
Language: English
Item Size: 3.3G

Infocom's packaging for Sorcerer, including the manual (two different printings) and the Infotator. All are from the folio edition.

One of the manuals is definitely from an Apple 2 package. The other manual and the codewheel are second-hand; I don't know what platform they're from.

The two manuals have the same size, text, and layout, but the color treatment is slightly different.

Manual A: The word "Enchanter" on the cover is tinted; heavier "old parchment" effect on pages; illustration on p2 has torch; doodle of lightning bolt on p9.

Manual B: The word "Enchanter" on the cover is white; lighter parchment effect; no torch; no lightning bolt.

My assumption is that version A came first, and then they modified it to make the text more legible. However, this is only a guess.
